The gov- erness objected to having the boy leave side, as she had been warned that an empt to kidnap him might be made. Mrs. Miller said she was only golng out for a drive, but the girl insisted on going The carriage was ordered to be | driven to the Union station. The gov- | erncss sprang out and telephoned the | father of the child to come to the sta- tion. The detectives and other searchers were tnable to find any trace of the cab- man, George Z. Senour, until early this morning, when he was found at his home. He sa!d he was ordered to drive to the Massachusetts avenue station, after going he Union_station. At Massachusetts | aue Mrs./Miller seemed to change her | mind and ordered him to go on to Bright- wood. At this station it was ascertained that the train which Mrs. Miller had a stop to the disturbance. After considerable difficulty the com- | batants were separated and disarmed and the anarchists were expelled. This seemed to settle the difficulty and the police with- drew. As Chiel Brown was making his way along a lonely street he heard a shot and a bullet whistled by his head. This seemed a signal for a fusillade from dif- ferent directions, and the Chief started to run, at the same time trying to open his coat to get his own revolver. However, two bullets struck him, and as he fell a third found lodgment in his body. In the excitement after the first shot three men had apf’eared, the Chief recognizing them all. When they saw him fall the men ran away. The Chief became unconscious and for an hour lay where he had fallen in the snow, exFosed to bitter cold. At the end of that time a passerby saw him and the Chief was taken to his home, where he recovered consciousness and was able to tell who his asailants were. The police then put Otto Bernaccio and Lulgi Sassi under arrest, Chief Brown identified both. Doctors express doubt as to his recovery. — gounted on taking Lad gone.

Y., Dec. 27.—There was an unusually large attendance of .spectators at the military court of quiry to-day. Horace C. Booz, a civil en- gineer of Buffalo, and P. O. Phillips of East Cleveland, who was heralded as a Congressman, but who told the press rep- resentatives that he was never glected to Congress, were the chief witnesses. The former’s testimony was principally a ref- utation of the statements made about his brother, former Cadet Oscar L. Booz of Bristol, Pa., who died recently. Several of the .cadet witnesses during the prog- ress of the investigation had accused Booz of having shown cowardice in his fight with Cadet . Keller in August, 1888, and they also accused him of untruthfulness. Lieuterant Coe, {instructor of mathe- matics. his testimony last week stated that Bobz was not possessed of sufficient | mental capacity to pass the necessary ex- amination at this academy. The brother said to-day that this was not so, as the manner in which the former cadet had pessed his examinations at the prepara- tory .school at Bustleton, Pa., was suffi- cient to prove that Oscar was possessed of sufficient intellect. He said Oscar was not untruthful, and he was anything but a coward. Mr. Philllps’ principal reason for ap- pearing before the court was to show that he had not visited the academy in 1898 for | the purpose of saving his son from being hazed. One of the witnesses at the morning session informed the court that he had seen Cadet Breth so far exhausted from severe exercising ‘that stimulants had to be given him in his tent in 1867, It was learned after the court had ad- Journed that Horace Booz had not volun- teered his testimony. He was summoned by the court. Cadet Willis G. Peace of North Caro- lina, of the first class, was the first wit- ness to-day. He saw former cadet Breth hazed in.1897. The witness, after being frequently asked to_describe the forms of 'hazing to which Breth was subjected, replied: | T think they were the usual forms, such as holding out Indlan clubs until it became tire- some. dolng *"Wooden willie ' and otier things which were in vogue'at that time. Breth was a very awkward man and did not seem to be able to do anything right. He was subject to ner- vousness and was easily rattled. I got a letter from Breth about six months after he left here. In it he tried to explain his difficulty in doing things right while at the post here, and | that ‘he had been suffering from sickness all the time he was in camp. He had hoped to get better in_ barracks, but did not. Q.—Is thére any hatred or feellng In exist- ence between first class and fourth class men? A.—T don't believe there is any feeling on the part of the first class against the fourth class men, but there may be on the part of the fourth class men against the upper class. This may class men, but this feeling passes away when the cadets are advanced to the third class. Peace went on to say that he did not consider “exercising’’ brutal. Q.—Then vou don’t think that being required to exert yourself physicaliy against your will ai most to the polnt of exhaustion is brutal? A 1 was exercised myself, sir, and I did not think it was brutal. It was uncomfortable, but I knew it to result in permanent infury. The witness said there were some men who used to haze more than others, and enough. I should say that if a cadet were hazed to | #uch a degree that he v{mflfl he !n!l.u;gd or h-lg tosbe elped by his fellpws the hazing wou R Aol This answer was given after General | Bates had intimated to the witness that in case a cadet died from the effects of | such hazing the law would hold all of those who took part in it responsible for the man's death. Cadet Allen C. Kaye of Minnesota, who came next, said he had seen Cadet Breth the night before he left the Academy. | Breth seemed very much cast down at | being deficient. He did not complain of { fliness, nor Aid he say anything of his treatment by the cadets while here. In reply to General Brooke, the witness said he had never hazed a man beyond the | limit of his endurance; he never saw a man faint or become exhausted from haz- ing, and had not heard of such a case. Q.—Do you think it is for the physical benefit of a _caflet to have him ‘eagled” seventy times? A.—Yes, sir; I should say it is. it myself and I think it benefited me. Cadet John M. Pearson of Tennessee, answered in the negative. In deseribing several forms of exercising he said: Choo-chooing is the most exhausting. The man ie feqdired to et Gown And use Nis 1o as rapidly as possible in propelling himself | over the ground. The next witness was R. C.. Booz, civil engineer, of Buffalo, a brother of the late Cadet Oscar Booz. The witness had not seen his brother during the time he was in the West Point Academy in 1885. Mr. Booz cpntinued: 1 received a letter from him shortly after he to -the academy. In it he said he felt strange at the place, as jt was his first ex- perience away from home. In the second let- | ter, which T got about the beginning of August, | he told me he would be called out to fight in | went take tabasco sauce and suffered from a sore throat in copsequence. He claimed it was | forced down nis throat and he had to swallow it_or choke. | Q-—Have_you got those letters? A.—I have | not, sir. Iestroyed all the letters 1 got from him while here. In other letters which I got from him he complained of being hazed and sald he was being treated more severely than others. Later in the vear he wrote to me sug- gesting that my father allow him to send in his resignation. Oscar was not ‘‘fresh” and was not the kind of a boy that would be hazed. Q.—Did he ever mention any names of the ‘men who hazed him? A. % he did not. Continuing, the witness said he objected to Oscar's leaving the academy. Mr. Booz then said he wished to vindi- cate his brother's character in the face of published reports of what had been said by Lieutenant Col as to his dullness and deficiency In studies. He said Oscar had completed his preliminary studles in such a manner as to prove that he was not_dull. Statements had been made as to his brother's untruthfulness and cow- ce. “‘He was neither,” sald the witness sternly. - “In reply to Superintendent Mills, the witness said he had two brothers and one sister dead. He did not know of Oscar suffering from any other disease than tubercnfimla. if which he died. Witness said that in 1899 Oscar had told him that tabasco sauce had been forced down his throat. ¥ you see’ vour brother within six o Tie atter Jeaving the academy? AT saw ion I Octoer and December.

A.—I may have Braced hln’\, but I can't say positively. Q.—Did you ever brace fourth class men for the amusement or the edification of yourself or class fellows? A.—No, sir. I did it for their own. . When I was & fourth class man I heard some upper class men turn‘into the next tent. I went there latet. and found Breth Iving on the floor and no one else in the tent.

The wise, up-to-date, modern doctor is no longer tied down to the hard and fast rules of w his medical books say he shall use and what b may withhold ir treating his patient. The successful doctor nowadays is t one who is quick to avail himself of a remedy, new or old, which holds ‘Allopathic, Homeopathic or neither Dr. Jennison, in an interesting arti on indigestition and dyspepsia s “Nine-tenths of all people, who apply me for advice and treatment think the have this allment ‘or that ailment, bu find on close examination that their wh trouble ari: from poor digestion.

I don't feed them on pre-digested foods like Dbabies, nor “stomach bitters,” nor ent nostrums which I know nothing about. No honér able physician will ?rescflb' & remed unless he knows what it contains and it probable effects. For all such patients I have but one prescription, I advise them to go to the nearest drugystore and get a §0-cent box of Stuart’s spepsia Tablets. I use them Wwith remarkable success in ail of indigestion and stomach trouble, becausa I know what Stuart's Dyspegsla Tablets 1 do. They contain the vegetable essences, dlastass and government test pepsin, which are the things every weak stomach lacks to re- store natural digestive vigor, and if"I had dyspepsia myself it is the one remedy I should take. When' a patient comes to me complain- ing of dull headaches, sour stomach, bad taste, nervousness, belching of gas, or heart trouble, which is generally caused from indigestion, I tell him to take one or two of Stuart's Tablets after each meal and as often during the day as he has any trouble. and I feel confident I have given that patient the ‘best advice I could give.” Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are large. & logzenges, containing dlas- . combined with frult and vegetable essences. They are not cathar- tic and do not act on any particulas organ like ordinary drugs, but simply aet en- tirely on the feod eaten. They are a nat. ural digestive, pure and simple.
